For more and more riders, a ‘Cross bike is the answer to a wide range of needs; light enough for a sportives, tough enough for light off-road use and comfortable enough for weekend touring. The Vapour’s ALX-9 6069 triple-butted frame and carbon/aluminium fork are race-ready and now has widened seat stay spacing to aid wheel removal and provide more mud room around the rear brake. Top-tube routed cables mean snag-free shouldering when it’s time to pick it up and run, rear rack and ‘guard eyelets give scope for wider use than a pure race bike. Whether a roamer, a racer or simply a commuter/escaper, the Vapour answers the call

Road Cycling UK (RCUK) ReviewScore: 4.5/5"I haven't had this much fun on a bicycle in ages, and the Vapour's on- and off-road ability is staggeringly good. Throw in loads of mounts for bottle cages, mudguards and racks and you have a true all-rounder."

Genesis bikes are designed and developed by a small group of riders to fulfil the demands of those who make the UK riding scene one of the most diverse and exciting in the world. With an advantage derived from focusing purely on the UK market allowing Genesis to offer a wide range of complete bikes and framesets that have tangible benefits on home ground.
A bike that's been honed on the steep roads, precipitous mountains or hectic streets of the UK has earned the confidence to take on anything it may come across, anywhere in the world.

Genesis offer bikes that defy categorisation and offer something different, each model is devised to suit a particular riding style or feel. First through prototyping, then frame development and finally production, with lots of riding opportunities throughout the process! This extensive testing makes all their bikes more than the sum of it's parts, one that encourages you to ride that bit more.
